Guess where Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, Super Bowl MVP, is headed
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, the MVP of Sunday’s Super Bowl, is now part of an even more exclusive club after winning the Lombardi Trophy.
He is among the select few who have said those magic words after winning a Super Bowl.
“I’m going to Disney World,” the former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback said after the Eagles’ 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans on Sunday.
A representative for Walt Disney World confirmed to The Orlando Sentinel that Hurts and his family will be part of a parade on Magic Kingdom’s Main Street around 2:30 p.m. local time on Monday.

Hurts threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score on a tush push Sunday. He went 17 for 22 for 221 yards and and ran for 72 yards.
According to The Sentinel, the “I’m going to Disney World” promotion started in 1987 with Phil Simms, the quarterback for the New York Giants.
Since then, football greats like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes have been a part of the festivities.
